Nguyen Shack Retreat

It is such an amazing place to stay, the location is gorgeous, by a very beautiful lake. It is quiet and relaxing The rooms are really nice, with a beautiful view on the lake The food is delicious, with several westerners dishes like the poutine, which was very good The couple running the place is so kind and welcoming. I had an amazing stay there, I would have stayed a week if I could Thank you for this stay :)

My best experience is whole Vietnam by far. big rooms, great balcony, great view of the lake, raining or not, that is the best place to stay. far enough from the city and noises. very quiet and peaceful. Just in the middle of pure nature. The owner family are very nice and humble. They are helpful and kind. morning and evening yoga seasons was the best part for me. the best yoga arena I have ever seen in my life with a great view of lake and hills.

This retreat is perfect for somebody who wants to be a little bit off the beaten track. It's a tranquil Paradise. They have options below $15 and below $25. It's worth the splurge to get the better rooms. The Wi-Fi is available even in the remote rooms. They have free yoga classes at 7:00 a.m. as well as 5:00 p.m.

I am a Yoga teacher from Australia and i was thinking of travelling through Phong Nha and found this beautiful retreat. The owners are very helpful and kind and we got speaking about my passion for Yoga and how we could share ideas about Yoga, Classes, retreat centres. After seeing my enthusiasm they offered me to take few classes and teach what I am passionate about such as meditation and breath work and really give me the freedom to express my own style of teaching which I really am grateful for. This is more than just a retreat centre, nestled away from the business of the town, you can find your solace here, from watching the sun rise from the mountains and waking up to natural sounds of birds and animals will always remain the highlight of my visit to Nguyen Shack Retreat. Family run and great staff who are always there to serve with a smile and looking out for the best interests of the guests. I would definitely be back and highly recommend anyone to come and check out this place and find their peace like i have found here.

This was the best stay in Vietnam. We enjoyed amazing food and a great way to socialise. The room was very big and comfortable. Bicycle and motorbike hire was great. Location still close enough to walk into the town for food (~20 minutes). The host really went above and beyond - even picking us up from the bus stop in town at 3am and we could relax in the hammock to rest until morning.

Everything was so lovely. It was a big room, our family like it. We enjoyed the atmosphere, food was good, fresh, specially people there. Thank you so much. Lovely spot. High recommended!!! I love the wonderful view. Value for money. Truly recommended!
